photo tips

After many attempts and plenty of trial and error, I think I'm starting to get the hang of luger photography. I took the following photos yesterday using one of those white nylon photo tents you can buy on Ebay. Similar to Ebay item #170158314972. I took the tent outside in full sunlight which allowed for a faster shutter speed (1/250) to steady my shaky hands. The background is just paper (white or red) sitting on a small plastic stool. The camera is a Canon EOS with a 18-55mm zoom set on "P" setting.
Picture one is with a white background with the sun opposite the camera. Not bad but the colors are kind of washed out. Pictures 2&3 are with the red background paper with the sun hitting the right side of the tent.
It still took several tries to get thing right.
